The thing is, at least on the spyware front, that most spyware requires
you to be browsing in IE to become infected. Most Mac people don't use
IE5 for Mac anymore, since it's so old and a piece of crap compared to
Safari.
Without ActiveX, it's a lot harder to get spyware on your machine.
Blah, there really is no difference between OSX and a Linux desktop
except that the OSX GUI is far more polished and there are more
commercial apps for it.

At last, an interesting scenario!
